On what principles did the patriots base the Revolution? Why would a rebel be fighting? Consider the experiences of the Road to Revolution to support your answers.

In 1774, as a reaction to the Boston Tea Party, the British Parliament passed a progression of acts, called the Coercive Acts. These demonstrations smashed a large portion of the sanctioned privileges of Pilgrim Massachusetts and encroached on the privileges of alternate settlements. Americans responded with exchange blacklists, and they likewise started to gradually join together and take political power into their own particular hands. Americans were not yet calling for freedom, but rather the development of the First Continental Congress joined with the pioneers' responses to the Coercive Acts, drove King George III to trust the provinces were in a condition of defiance.
